Summary
I'm going to be super vulnerable with you guys in this episode and share why this year was the most turbulent year for Jordan and I's marriage. We are better than ever now but we were tested a lot this year and if I can reveal any of the mines ahead for you to watch out for, this is worth sharing. I'll also share what we were able to do differently after Marlee's birth vs Jaxson's birth for all my first time entrepreneur parents out there.

| 0:00.0 | We did and said and had some arguments and things that needed some rebuilding. |
| 0:06.1 | And so we really, really did prioritize the rebuilding. |
| 0:09.1 | And I'm very proud of us. |
| 0:10.6 | And it took probably Marley was born in May. |
| 0:13.9 | It probably took until like November where I was like, man, we are on solid foundation again. |
| 0:20.0 | Hey, hey, what's up? All right, this is going to be a really, |
| 0:23.2 | really different episode. You either are going to be really interested or really not interested. |
